    I've thought about getting the navi fixed, but frankly, I use my phone instead for navigation. It could be the disc, but it is probably the DVD drive. The stereo works either way and sounds great. No issues playing CDs / DVDs and I've never used the tape drive once. It has aux input for my phone. I've never used sat radio, but it seems to work.

    Looked and tried to find a good price based on other TL-S's that have sold between ~125-150k miles. It seemed to be a very good price at just under $10k, and with the rarity of the manual trans.

    If I was going to keep it, it's time to do some of the fluids. The brakes - I'm not sure what condition they are on. It's been ~35k since I bought it and they were close to new then, so the fronts may need to be done soon, but I frankly don't know. It was a highway daily driver for 2.5 years, so I wasn't using the brakes much.

    The clutch is the unknown. I don't have any reason to think it's going other than it's got 138.6k on the clock. It'd still holds perfectly with no signs of slipping and it grabs quickly. I've driven MTs for most of my life, so I've been good on it... but I can't speak to how the previous owners treated it.

    I've had it about 3 years, it's my second TL. It's in pretty good shape, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country today. I've had no real trouble with it other than the throttle actuator went out - it was a quick replacement a year or two ago (it's in the maint list). I've got more pictures. If you'd like to see them, send me your email. They're about 3-4 megs each, and I've got about 20-25. I can take more if you want to see some specific shots (probably tomorrow, it's getting dark here tonight).

    I got a chance to buy a BMW M5 and took it, so this one is the daily driver while that one is getting looked over and fixed up by a friend (german mechanic, but it's part time, so he's taking his time going over it, fixing things, doing fluids, seeing what pops up, etc). I've had a couple people locally who are interested as of a week or two ago, but I'm finally getting it posted today.
